Chapter 3
The next morning Chandler woke up to the smell of eggs. His stomach churned and he had to fight to keep from throwing up. He slowly sat up, instantly regretting it as the room spun wildly.
"Morning buddy, I made you some breakfast, eggs Chandler style, Rach is at work so it's just you and me today" Joey said proudly from the stove.
Chandler's stomach flipped at just the thought of it.
"Thanks, but I'm not hungry" Chandler muttered as he slowly stood up from the couch.
"You sure?" Joey asked, slightly disappointed.
Chandler nodded and walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind him. Joey cringed as he heard him retching soon after. Something caught Joey's eye near the door. It was a letter, someone must have shoved it under the door not too long ago. Joey picked up the envelope. It was addressed to Chandler. Joey frowned "How did they know he was staying here after just one night?" He wondered to himself. He shrugged it off and went over to the bathroom and knocked on the door. The toilet flushed and once he couldn't hear any sound, Joey opened the door. He found Chandler sitting next to the toilet, his head resting in his hands. He looked awful, he was pale and sweaty.
"You ok man?" Joey asked, concerned.
Chandler just nodded in reply. Joey eyed him doubtfully for a moment before handing him the letter.
"If you need anything I'll be right out here" Joey told him before closing the door again.
Chandler studied the envelope for a long time. He knew that handwriting off by heart. The moment he saw the word "Chandler" written in cursive on the front he knew it was from Monica. He stared at it for ages before finally opening it.
Dear Chandler,
I know you must hate me right now but I just want you to know how sorry I am for hurting you like that. I had no idea things would turn out this way and I hate it so much. I've asked Rachel to swap apartments so you can move back in with Joey, I think that it would be best. I never meant to do this to you and I want you to know that even though we're not together anymore, you still my best friend and anytime you want to talk just give me a call ok? You can come over and pick up your things whenever you want. I really hope we can talk about this, I feel so bad about all of this. Love you, Love Mon xoxo
Chandler read the letter over a few times as tears burned in his eyes. He clenched his hands and ripped the letter with a frustrated cry. He threw across the room and let the tears come out in choking sobs. Joey stood outside the bathroom door listening sadly to his friend's painful cries. "How could she?" He thought. He shook his head and walked away to let Chandler be alone.
Two days had passed since then and there was still no change. Chandler kept calling in sick for work, he just didn't have the energy for it. Joey and Rachel had been working on switching the rooms, Chandler just couldn't bring himself to face Monica again. Today Joey had gone over to Monica's to get the rest of Chandler's things, today was her day off and Chandler could hear Joey yelling from across the hall. He leaned against the wall next to the door and slowly slid down until he was sitting on the floor. He listened to the muffled yelling, his face empty and emotionless. He heard Monica's door slam shut and a few moments later Joey stormed into their apartment. He jumped when he saw Chandler sitting right next to the door.
"Woah, you scared the crap out of me man" Joey exclaimed. Chandler continued to stare at nothing, Joey frowned.
"You heard that huh, I'm sorry man I couldn't help it, things just got out of control" He said sympathetically as he placed the box of Chandler's things on the counter.
"What did she say?" Chandler asked dully.
"It doesn't matter" Joey said nervously, the last thing he wanted to do was upset Chandler again.
Chandler just nodded then stood up and grabbed the phone, heading towards his room.
"What are you doing?" Joey asked.
"I'm calling her" Chandler said in the same dull voice.
"Why? don't do this Chandler, just forget her" Joey told him, almost pleading.
Chandler just stared at him for a moment before walking into his room and closing the door behind him. He sat on his bed and hesitated before dialing the number.
"Hello?" the sound of her voice almost made Chandler cry out.
"Hey, it's me" Chandler replied softly. What was he doing? Why was he even calling her? He didn't even know.
"Chandler? Oh I'm so glad you finally called, how are you?" Monica asked almost excitedly.
"I'm sorry about Joey" Chandler said, ignoring her last question. How did she think he was? Good? Yeah right!
"Oh, that's alright, wasn't your fault" She replied. There was a long awkward silence between them.
"What did I do wrong?" Chandler asked in a voice almost child like.
"Honey you didn't do anything wrong" Monica replied softly.
"Just tell me what it is and I can fix it, I'll do anything Mon I swear" Chandler protested.
"It's not you sweetie it's me, this is my fault" Monica said calmly.
"But why? Why? I don't understand" Chandler said desperately as tears began to slide down his cheeks. He started pacing the room franticly trying to think of what to say.
"It's complicated, I don't understand it either but this is what I have to do, can you understand that?" Monica asked gently.
"No, no I can't, I need you!" Chandler shouted into the phone, his whole body shaking.
"Chandler are you ok? Where Joey?" Monica asked sternly, she noticed the weird tone in his voice.
"I don't know" Chandler replied, his voice trembling.
"Ok I think I should come over there, your scaring me Chandler" Monica said worriedly.
"No! Don't come over, just stay away from me!" Chandler screamed and hung up.
He threw the phone against the wall and it shattered into pieces. Chandler felt the anger rising as he grabbed the lamp and lunged it across the room. He pushed his dresser draws over and screamed as he punched the wall, his fist going straight through it. Joey threw the door open upon hearing the noise and rushed in. Chandler stood in the middle of his up-turned room, small beads of blood trailing down his hand from the cuts.
"You ok man?" Joey asked worriedly.
"Just peachy" Chandler replied.
"Maybe we should get that looked at" Joey suggested pointing to his hand.
"Its fine, I want to be alone now" Chandler said in a low voice.
"I really don't think that's a good idea" Joey protested.
"Please Joey, I don't want to hurt you, just get out" Chandler told him, his emotions were hard to read.
Joey didn't know what to do, his friend was acting like a completely different person.
"Ok well I'm just going to go out for a minute, you sure you'll be alright by yourself?" Joey asked hesitantly.
Chandler nodded and flopped down on his bed.
Joey had to talk to someone about this. He didn't want to leave Chandler alone in this state but seeing the phone now lay in thousands of pieces on the floor, he didn't really have a choice. He decided he would go to Ross'. After all he did have the whole breakup thing with Carol, he would know what to do.
Hope you enjoyed it! Please review and tell me what you think!
